This episode does not take place in Nashville. It's about as far, geographically, as you can get from Music City.

But it is a FASCINATING case, and even though it doesn't deal with my adoptive hometown, I hope that you'll enjoy it, just the same.

In the early morning hours of January 1, 1998, Ben Smart and Olivia Hope went missing after attending a lake party near a site called Furneaux Lodge.

It's one of the most famous true crime cases in all of New Zealand's history.

I won't spoil any of the other details, but just know it's a story worth checking out!

My main source for the episode was a book entitled Ben & Olivia: What Really Happened. I also enlisted the help of user Emmao123 for the intro, so if you have any Australian voiceover needs, she's your go-to person!
